The lawsuit was originally brought by the Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation in October 2013. It stopped Scroggins from accessing about 300 square miles of land where Cabot had a lease. On that land, however, is the grocery store Scroggins shops at, the homes of several friends and the nearest hospital.

The judge ruled the injunction was over-broad and violated Scroggins' First Amendment right.

The revised injunction bans Scroggins from Cabot-owned land only and within 100 feet of an active well pad and the pad's connecting access roads.
